Major Updates Coming to Eternium - Season Pass Overhaul and More!
Dear Eternium Community,
We're thrilled to share with you some significant updates coming to Eternium in the next release. Here's a summary of what's coming:
Season Pass Overhaul: We're introducing a complete redesign of the Season Pass system to ensure a more engaging and rewarding experience. This includes a new UI, revamped XP earning methods through bounties, increased levels, and the introduction of a Premium Plus option.
New Spiritstone - Lethalade: Get ready to boost your crit damage with this powerful new addition. Manastim and Velocinite remain in play.
Cape of the Ancestral Spirits: A unique legacy item that will open up new build possibilities by allowing the equipping of Spiritstones. Now there are even more opportunities to customize your builds with Spiritstones! Because of this, we’ve capped the effect of each Spiritstone to the equivalent of 3 Brilliants.
Bug Fixes and Improvements: We're continually refining the game to improve quality.
Why We're Changing the Season Pass
Our analysis and feedback from you highlighted that the current Season Pass could be completed much too quickly (some of you can complete it in less than 2 hours), leading to less engagement over the season's duration. This was far from our intention of creating a dynamic and continuously enjoyable experience. To address this, we're introducing a system that requires more consistent participation throughout the season. Here's how we're doing it:
Bounties: The new Season Pass will focus on completing various bounties for seasonal XP, including daily, seasonal, and event-specific ones. This variety ensures fresh challenges and encourages diverse gameplay. All progress on the Season Path is now driven by XP earned from these bounties. For now, Leaderboard rank is still determined by fastest time on the highest Trial.
Levels and Rewards: With 60 levels to progress through and rewards at each level for both free and premium passes, you will find more reasons to come back daily. The Premium Plus pass further enhances this by offering additional bounties and a fast-track option.
UI and Accessibility: A cleaner, more intuitive UI will make navigating the Season Pass simpler, especially for newcomers. This, combined with the revamped progression system, aims to provide a more satisfying and less overwhelming experience.
What This Means for You
These changes are designed to deepen your engagement with Eternium, offering a richer, more varied play experience. By rewarding more consistent engagement, we're not only extending the enjoyment you get from each season but also providing a framework that supports a healthier balance between playing and progressing. We're excited about more to come that ties into seasonal content.
We believe these updates will make your journey through Eternium even more thrilling, with more rewards and challenges. As always, your feedback is invaluable to us. As you explore these new features, please share your thoughts, experiences, and suggestions. Your input directly influences our ongoing efforts to make Eternium the best it can be.
Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for being a part of the Eternium community. Let's embark on this new season together, filled with adventure, discovery, and, most importantly, fun!
Warm regards,
